Dear SrI Balaji Narasimhan :

 

Thanks ever so much for your quick response .

BhakthAs , who plan to visit Melkote

for Vairamudi Sevai will be very happy to hear about

the timings of the Sevai on March 31 .

 

My niece , Kumari Supraja Iyengar wants to

visit Melkote during this festive occasion .

It is my prayer to bless me with His Vairamudi

Sevai on a future occasion .

 

Thanks again ,
